But the soviets really could have won if they put enough into it, but the thing is that they coulden't, and the afghans totally crippling their air force in the region, making it completely useless while the equivalent of billions of dollars goes down the drain in a few months, that dosen't help with the occupation at all.

yeah the USA could barely pull something similar off

so the soviets were bound to lose

They were, but in reality they had no idea that they would lose that hard to the afghans, they just predicted that they would be a few tribals that they could sweep away easily like they had in africa.

I am a gay straight man.

They never predicted the islamists in the area to fight so viciously and use guriella tactics, nor did they expect the US to provide support to them.

I believe it is a fact of life now, that you will never be able to separate the middle east from islam.

Warned ?

You dare warn me?

@Deleted User gay straight man hmm sounds like a moral politician

@DA GOMMIE JOO#7269 Actually the Soviets lost for absolutely none of those reason.

It's because it's Afghanistan.

Nobody invades Afghanistan.

A little nugget of terd (sometimes known as a poo-chunk) that gets stuck to a mans arse hair.

>And when Mr. Khrushchev brandishes his shoe at the United Nations and hammers the table with it, no colonized individual, no representative of the underdeveloped countries laughs. For what Mr. Khrushchev is showing the colonized countries who are watching, is that he, the missile-wielding muzhik is treating these wretched capitalists the way they deserve.

@Deleted User Yes it is anime.

@When Things Aren't Right Go Left What

Trotsky was a menshevik in Bolshevik clothing.

An opportunist to the very core whose failed theories were relegated to the trashbin of history not long after their theorization.

@Mosin Nagant trotsky's main themes/theories are all compatible with central concepts to Marxism.
